    ACCA · Question 50 · Leadership and management

    SECTION B - SCENARIO 4 (Syllabus D)

    'AeroSwift', a supersonic jet manufacturer, is facing production delays.
    Task 1: The production manager cares only about hitting quotas and ignores worker fatigue.
    Task 2: Workers are dissatisfied because the factory floor is dangerously hot and poorly lit.
    Task 3: A newly formed engineering team is currently arguing over who should lead the redesign.
    Task 4: The CEO holds a meeting to show everyone that if they don't change their processes, the company will go bankrupt.

    Which of the following correctly identifies the frameworks/concepts in Tasks 1 to 4?

    Answer options:

    A.

    1: Blake & Mouton (1,9 Country Club), 2: Maslow (Esteem), 3: Tuckman (Forming), 4: Lewin (Changing)

    B.

    1: Blake & Mouton (9,1 Authority-Compliance), 2: Herzberg (Hygiene factor), 3: Tuckman (Storming), 4: Lewin (Unfreezing)

    C.

    1: Blake & Mouton (9,9 Team Management), 2: Herzberg (Motivator), 3: Tuckman (Norming), 4: Lewin (Refreezing)

    D.

    1: Blake & Mouton (9,1 Authority-Compliance), 2: Vroom (Expectancy), 3: Tuckman (Storming), 4: Lewin (Unfreezing)

    How to approach this question

    Task 1: High task/low people = 9,1. Task 2: Working conditions = Herzberg's Hygiene. Task 3: Arguing/conflict = Storming. Task 4: Creating need for change = Unfreezing.

    Full Answer

    B.1: Blake & Mouton (9,1 Authority-Compliance), 2: Herzberg (Hygiene factor), 3: Tuckman (Storming), 4: Lewin (Unfreezing)✓ Correct
    Task 1: Authority-Compliance (9,1) focuses heavily on tasks and ignores people. Task 2: Physical working conditions are Hygiene factors in Herzberg's theory. Task 3: Power struggles in new teams characterize the Storming phase. Task 4: Highlighting a crisis to prepare for change is Lewin's Unfreezing stage.

    Common mistakes

    Confusing Herzberg's Hygiene factors with Motivators. Confusing Lewin's Unfreezing with Changing.
